Mate have you heard the one about your Aunty and Uncle..................

I see what you mean, old fella!

You have to have a good sense of humour around the MFC.

Thanks for the laugh this morning!

Rumour that Kevin Sheedy is going to throw a lifeline to Andy Lovell. Like Junior Mac he'll have dual role as a player and mentor for the young guns who will learn all of the social graces from him.

Can we just say whatever we want in this thread?

No.

We can't mention Rooty Hill's wealthiest resident here.

Ironically, it is the title of this thread that keeps T$'s name present on this forum.

I'd be happy to have it changed to "Not a TS thread."

No sooner suggested than done. I feel there is an all powerful force watching who can make these things happen.

Yes Redleg "the force is with you"

We seem to be on a roll. Great appointments, (some beating other clubs to them), new sponsor. What we need now is another new major sponsor, some good trading and some good drafting. A good pre season with a new game plan and we are up and running. Loved the words of Neil Craig about the MFC on his appointment, Seems to already have a great feel for the place.

Redleg at the risk of being seen to be negative "what would we expect him to say?

" I need a few years work and would love to live in Melbourne so I took the job because they are paying me the most".

Proof of the pudding for me, talk is cheap I will wait and see how 2012 plays out before I go over the top.

Having said all that at the very least we are making some big changes and It is hard to see that not improving things in 2012

If you keep this up we might have to exert some discipline and change the name again to "Not a BS Thread"!

Redleg amongst all this excitment I forgot to mention I am in shock.

Bananas are up to $10.00 / KG again.

What gives there?

I wonder how that bloke who just moved to Rooty Hill will feel when he compares our coaching structures and talent to what he is now forced to 'live with' in Sydney's west .......... and more importantly, when he reflects in a few years time on 'what could have been', and what he might have been part of.

That is about the right order too Deeoldfart!

Does any body else find trade week an overhyped let down?

Does any body else find trade week an overhyped let down?

Yes because there is lots of talk and usually little action.

As far as the Dees are concerned I will be surprised if we do much.

Don't think we have much to offer.( except perhaps Green as it does not appear he is going to sign any time soon!)

But then Redleg we usually don't have much else to talk about at the end of September / early October.

Does any body else find trade week an overhyped let down?

I love the anticipation of it, but I agree that its almost always a let down from a Dees perspective (eg. Hale, Ball, Judd didn't like us, and our punts on a host of second and third raters have rarely paid off) .... but for some strange reason, I really enjoy it. This year I have a feeling it might be different. Our recent success in getting our act together in our Football Dept., might just flow over into the playing ranks. Maybe a quality mid to fill the gaping holes in that area. Just dreaming, but I guess that's why I like trade week. It prolongs the dream.
